What an excellent reason to not mobilize on this issue...

...No. Giving them the loud protest they deserve is the bare minimum

Well... initially I would like to agree with you. When company does a dumb thing they may find out that users are not happy with the choice and then retract.

But in this particular case, they knew exactly and in advance that developers won't like the change, hence why I believe that in this particular case whining won't dent a thing.
